A single integration backbone and Centre of Excellence for a global healthcare group
Multi-year integration consolidation programme unifying middleware across business units, establishing an Integration Centre of Excellence, and reducing operational complexity.
Background
A global healthcare and consumer products enterprise operated multiple independent integration platforms across business units, creating duplication, maintenance overhead, and inconsistent governance. The organisation needed to consolidate onto a unified webMethods integration backbone with a governed Centre of Excellence.
The challenge
Lead a multi-year integration consolidation programme — unifying middleware across business units, establishing an Integration Centre of Excellence, and reducing operational complexity while maintaining 24/7 business continuity across mission-critical integrations.
Our approach
Intellectual provided senior integration architects and engineers as a dedicated team — assessing the existing integration landscape, designing the target webMethods architecture, leading migrations across business units, and establishing the CoE governance model. The programme balanced consolidation velocity with operational risk management.
